All That I Am
03:08
|
|||
|
Why is my mind so hard to still?
The constant drive to take a bitter pill
The fractured pieces of my heart and soul
Forever wonder what makes me whole
There's a piece of me and it stays with you
All that I am comes into view
When I close my eyes and I think of you
All that I am comes into view
When I'm with you
The past will not be the story told
Despite the demons taking hold
You've opened eyes to what might be
If I can see the light inside of me
There's a piece of me and it stays with you
All that I am comes into view
When I close my eyes and I think of you
All that I am comes into view
Know you're not alone
Your scars are beautiful, let them show
Know you're not alone
You've got a pocketful of diamonds don't you know?
There's a piece of me and it stays with you
All that I am comes into view
When I close my eyes and I think of you
All that I am comes into view
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you

Something Real

How long
Has this been going on?
Many years I have travelled
But I got it all wrong
There's a light I can see in the distance
When I reach I can almost touch
To bask in the warmth of the sunlight
As it breaks through the clouded skies
I feel inside
Something pure
Something real
Life
It's a precious thing
Make the most of the time that you have
And you will find your wings
There's a light I can see in the distance
When I reach I can almost touch
To bask in the warmth of the sunlight
As it breaks through the clouded skies
I feel inside
Something pure
Something real
Sometimes the weight can be heavy
Allow me to lighten the load
Sometimes the mind is unsteady
Now's the time to let it all go
You don't have to journey alone
All the people you don't yet know
Their love will show
Give it time
And you'll see
Get up
And brush off the dirt
You're battered and bruised
But things are looking up
There's a light I can see in the distance
When I reach I can almost touch
To bask in the warmth of the sunlight
As it breaks through the clouded skies
I feel inside
Something pure
Something real

Breakthrough
03:35
|
|||
|
Emotions cascade in an ocean of black
Sinking beneath, will she ever come back?
To who she once was, the girl with the smile
Embracing the future, all others beguiled
Just breathe little one
All will turn out well
These moments will pass
The storms will surely quell
The silence of screaming resounds in her head
Reality wailing with language unsaid
Will anyone see the pain in her soul?
Block out the chaos of this modern world
Just breathe little one
All will turn out well
These moments will pass
The storms will surely quell
Reaching the surface, her hands break the ice
She weaves through the darkness to flickers of light
The ocean unsteady, but the storms now will pass
As they wash clean away, the wounds of her past
Just breathe little one
All will turn out well
These moments will pass
The storms will surely quell
Let the feeling come
Let the healing come
Let the feeling come
Let the healing come
Just breathe little one
All will turn out well

Nothing's Perfect
03:26
|
|||
|
Forged in a melody
Chance, a meeting, serendipity
Making the most of opportunity
To be the best we could ever be
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
You help me be a better me
I'm the wave and you are the sea
Forever learn to set each other free
Now we're friends for eternity
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
To feel this way
Embrace the strange
Nothings ever perfect anyway
So ride the wave
Sometimes the rivers run
The clouds will move and you'll see the sun
In any moment life has just begun
Together we can sing as one
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
And in a second we realise
We're not the same
We see the world through different eyes
But it's okay
To feel this way
Embrace the strange
Nothings ever perfect anyway
So ride the wave

No One Left Behind

Take a lonely walk along the shore
Open in your mind the broken door
Looking out through the windows of your soul
In a hope to see the meaning of it all
Take a moment if you can
Try to rest your head
If you empty out your heart
Well your intentions were the best
Take a moment if you can
Cos we can sort out all this mess
And soon we'll catch up with the rest
Soon we'll catch up with the rest
It's not a race to the finish line
You'll get yours and I'll get mine
Think of all the seeds you've sown
Cos it's all about the journey on the road
Take a moment if you can
Try to rest your head
If you empty out your heart
Well your intentions were the best
Take a moment if you can
Cos we can sort out all this mess
And soon we'll catch up with the rest
Soon we'll catch up with the rest
The wise old owl is always watching
Speaking from within
She sits in silence, looking out on
Sweeping skies like a whisper in the night
You're always in the forefront of my mind
You help me see things from the other side
And I'll always be here to remind
That no one gets left behind
I said no one gets left behind
Take a moment if you can
Try to rest your head
If you empty out your heart
Well your intentions were the best
Take a moment if you can
Cos we can sort out all this mess
And soon we'll catch up with the rest
Soon we'll catch up with the rest

Balance
03:06
|
|||
|
The push and pull of who I am
The others find it hard to understand
One day to the next it all can change
A battleground of wills the fires rage
What does it mean to be free?
Like two sides of a coin that's never seen?
What does it mean to be free?
Like who you are and who you want to be?
Each hour a struggle to maintain
The balance of these broken scales inside my troubled brain
I don't know how I'll be from one hour to the next
I can't always be the person you expect
What does it mean to be free?
Like two sides of a coin that's never seen?
What does it mean to be free?
Like who you are and who you want to be?
Always watching
Ever waiting
Always watching
Ever waiting
There are times I'm hard to reach
I shut myself away and I'm struggling to speak
Frustration is at home right here
When I hope to be just like the crystal clear
What does it mean to be free?
Like two sides of a coin that's never seen?
What does it mean to be free?
Like who you are and who you want to be?
Though it's hard to reach I try
I will stretch out my arms towards the sky
Sometimes there's blindness to my sight
But the dark can't exist without the light

Time To Heal
03:13
|
|||
|
It's hard to know
What I'm supposed to feel
I spent all my time
Believing it was real
Sometimes you gotta laugh
It wasn't funny at the time
But now it's in the past
So let's leave it behind
Take all the time you need to heal
I'll catch you on the mend
I'll catch you on the mend
I've been spending all my time looking for a lover
All I needed was a friend
All I needed was a friend
You gotta get it all wrong
To get it all right
You live and you learn
Try as you might
Sometimes you gotta laugh
It wasn't funny at the time
But now it's in the past
So let's leave it behind
Take all the time you need to heal
I'll catch you on the mend
I'll catch you on the mend
I've been spending all my time looking for a lover
All I needed was a friend
All I needed was a friend
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Take all the time you need to heal
I'll catch you on the mend
I'll catch you on the mend
I've been spending all my time looking for a lover
All I needed was a friend
All I needed was a friend
Take all the time you need to heal
I'll catch you on the mend
I'll catch you on the mend
I've been spending all my time looking for a lover
All I needed was a friend
All I needed was a friend
Take all the time that you need
Take all the time that you need
Take all the time you need to heal
I'll catch you on the mend
I'll catch you on the mend
I've been spending all my time looking for a lover
All I needed was a friend
All I needed was a friend

Safe & Sound

Rest your head little one
Cos no one's gonna get you
You're safe in this place
And I will protect you
When it's hard to bear
And worlds crash around you
Don't lose your head
Cos I will protect you
Go to sleep little one
Take on the world tomorrow
Lose yourself
In the dreams that you follow
Rest your head
And embrace those around you
The world is yours
May your dreams come true
And I'll
Hold your hand through it all
And I'll
Help you feel ten feet tall
Catch you when you fall
Time to wake
And see the world unfolding
A new day break
And it's yours for the taking
Have no fear
Of what's hidden in the darkness
I'll be here
Even though the time it passes
Time will pass
And faces change around you
Through a looking glass
See the future that awaits you
Your roots are strong
Branches straight and grow true
Look to the sky
Wherever it may lead to
Sometimes you fall
But you will land
Just get back up
And take my hand
Sometimes you fall
But you will land
Just get back up
And take my hand
And I'll
Hold your hand through it all
And I'll
Help you feel ten feet tall
Catch you when you fall
And I'll
Hold your hand through it all
And I'll
Help you feel ten feet tall
Catch you when you fall
Catch you when you fall

Today

Hazy memories of yesterdays,
She sits drinking coffee as the sun begins to fade
She sets others hearts ablaze
And she's lighting up the world while she's counting down the days
So won't you take it all away?
Won't you take it all away?
Won't you take it all away?
Today?
Cos I can't take the pain
An in a moment she forgets
She's taking all the steps
Living life with no regrets
She see all the joy in little things
And she finds a sense of comfort in the sentiment it brings
So won't you take it all away?
Won't you take it all away?
Won't you take it all away?
Today?
Cos I can't take the pain
Don't forget to lift your head
Be true to who you are
Cos I'll be checking in on you
And I'll hold you in my heart
And I only want a chance to see you smile before I'm gone
To tell you how much you mean to me
And how the memory will live on
So won't you take it all away?
Won't you take it all away?
So won't you take it all away?
Today?
Cos I can't take the pain
And you'll always be with me
Cos you taught me how to be

She's A Dreamer
05:04
|
|||
|
Every night when she went to sleep
Through her half closed eyes to peep
Travelling the world to see the lights
Dream of all the sleepless nights
Daydreaming
Daydreaming
Daydreaming
Of a different life
Of a different life
The scent of whisky and red wine
As new encounters intertwine
She's dreamt of this her whole darn life
Full of all the things she likes
But she's still dreaming
Still dreaming
Still dreaming
Of a different life
Of a different life
It's up to you
You can change the order of the moments
That happen if you choose
But it's ok
To believe in possibility
Maybe you should make them real
To make them all come true
All it takes is me and you
An offer you can't refuse
Don't put your life on snooze
White picket fence and flower beds
Hopes and dreams of newly weds
Gentle winds and running waters
Soaking up the sunsets chorus
Is she still dreaming?
Still dreaming?
Still dreaming?
She's not dreaming anymore
She's not dreaming anymore
Just a girl against the world
Lives the life as it unfurled
Making holy precious pieces
To practice what she preaches
No need for dreaming
No need for dreaming
No need for dreaming
When you're living in real-time
When you're living in real-time
It's up to you
You can change the order of the moments
That happen if you choose
But it's ok
To believe in possibility
Maybe you can make them real
To make them all come true
All it takes is me and you
An offer you can't refuse
Don't put your life on snooze

Drink It In
02:35
|

|
The Jagged rocks they make a wall
Standing there so proud and tall
Begging me to climb them if I can
These feet will tread a path to you
The line may not be straight and true
But to walk a greater distance is the plan
Drink It In
Find the beauty within
Drink It in
Find the beauty within
The waters they coming running through
They was away the darkest mood
And leave me with a feeling crystal clear
These branches reach out to the sky
And generations have gone by
But here they stand so proud and strong
Drink It In
Find the beauty within
Drink It in
Find the beauty within
These hills have made a home for us
To shelter and to nurture us
And they'll be here when we are gone
We share a space with all the life
That come to pass in every day and night
But in this moment we are free
Drink It In
Find the beauty within
Drink It in
Find the beauty within
Find the beauty within

A Little Time
05:14
|
|||
|
Are you searching for a purpose?
Are you looking for your freedom?
When the world seems up against you
And you're looking for a reason
If you keep on searching you might find
If you give yourself a little time
Can you find an answer?
When you're in amongst the chaos
One day it might all make sense
If you filter out the fuss
If you keep on searching you might find
If you give yourself a little time
Ooh
Ooh
Are you trying to find your feet?
Did you leave them with a friend?
If every mile was a memory
You'd have too much to spend
If you keep on searching you might find
Just give yourself a little time
Don't fear the unfamiliar
Don't settle on the fence
Life is yours for taking
Make sure it's time well spent
If you keep on searching you might find
Just give yourself a little time
You can't change what's out of your control
Learn to live your life before you're old
You can't change what's out of your control
There's so much story that remains untold
Ooh
Ooh
Your hair is turning grey now
There's lines upon your face
But there's a smile that you wear
And it lights up every place
And it's alright, and it's all worked out fine
Cos you gave yourself a little time
And it's alright, and it's all worked out fine
Cos you gave yourself
A little time
